高中化学和生物化学学位课程的准备应包括两年的代数，几何的一年，三角学的一半，化学的一年和物理学的一年。强烈建议微积分。获得美国化学学会（ACS）认可的化学科学学士学位，可以帮助学生为从事化学工业的职业发展或开始化学和其他分子科学的研究生学习做好准备。该学位为数学和物理学奠定了坚实的基础，在化学子学科（分析，生物化学，无机，有机和物理化学）方面具有广泛的基础，并且在实验室和仪器技术方面提供了出色的动手培训。
High school preparation for the chemistry and biochemistry degree programs should include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, one-half year of trigonometry, one year of chemistry, and one year of physics. Calculus is highly recommended. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, which is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS), prepares students to pursue a career in chemically-oriented industry or to begin graduate study in chemistry and other molecular sciences. The degree provides a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, breadth in chemical sub-disciplines (analytical, biochemical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry), and excellent hands-on training in laboratory and instrumental techniques.
